Those words have since been updated, but again, the specific details of what was changed are mostly unknown.

Nintendo has a history of updating its chat filters and restricted word lists like this in the past, so this isn’t too unusual when it comes to Nintendo Switch updates. the same thing happened several times last year with NSFW words and other potentially problematic phrases updated regularly to remove words Nintendo deemed inappropriate.
This update is only the second to be released this year with the most recent before it goes live in February. That one contained really just one line of interest and the other again was “general system stability improvements to improve user experience.”
